Yes, with secure boot and flash encryption someone can't obtain the raw binary as long as you also distribute your ota updates in encrypted form. Also the recommended configuration is to use unique per device flash encryption keys so a flash dump won't even run on another authentic device. Thanks f...

A must and perfect ESP32 would be nice to have BLE 5.0 and IEEE 802.15.4 support, wifi 5G can come later. Thank you. LLVM would be such a strong point for Espressif. Imaging programming ESP32 on Rust lang. C/C++ is great but its time to move on to something more modern, secure and better than C/C++...

Hi all, New to ESP32. I am reading the Secure Boot section on the ESP-IDF docs: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/security/secure-boot.html The guide begins with the statement "Secure Boot is a feature for ensuring only your code can run on the chip. Data loaded from flash is ver...

Such nonlocal variables in a translation unit are initialized in the...

I have an SPI peripheral project with up to 10 SPI devices using the same Chip-select (CS) pin. Is there any advantage to split them between two SPI busses, say, 5 devices connected to VSPI and 5 devices connected to HSPI in terms of overall processing power/bandwidth? These devices are LCD screens ...

Thanks Neil.

When you say "add includes", does that mean add "#include file.h" on my main.cpp or add includes in the Paths/Includes settings of the project in Eclipse IDE?

Can you tell me what exactly I need to add in the includes? My project structure is as follows: myapp/ myapp.cpp components/ U8g2/ src/ clib/ and my components.mk file is described in the first post. I have tried adding a local workspace path: /myapp/components/U8g2 /myapp/components/U8g2/src /myapp...

Hi all, I followed Neil's tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYh2w0HzS7s I've got everything working except for a library that I added in components folder (U8g2). U8g2 library has two source folders, so I made a component.mk file in project-folder/components/U8g2/ with the following: CO...

I am sorry, I just realized that ESP32 doesn't have native USB support. Hence the confusion. Ok, so at this point, for serial port comm, I am thinking of using a USB to UART chip, perhaps the same exact one that is built into the ESP32-DevKitC module from SI Labs. They also offer a handy USB Driver ...

@nkolban Thank you for your insight. Yes, indeed, all options are available to us and we can generically implement all. However, we must start with a solid comm protocol and then add, say, for instance, BLE & Wifi later. I am leaning towards UART/USB, but a follow-up question I have tried to Google ...
